"Is Nature Ours? A Jewish-Christian Dialogue"
The 2006-2007 Ethics Program Speaker Series concludes on April 17 with a dialogue between Hillel Norry, a Rabbi at Congregation Shearith Israel (a conservative, egalitarian congregation in Atlanta) and Mark Douglas, an Associate Professor of Christian Ethics at Columbia Theological Seminary. They will discuss what they see their religions suggest about the proper relationship between human beings and the rest of creation. The Hebrew and Christian Bibles' views about our relationship to other species, and our responsibilities to future generations will also be included.
In conjunction with this event, we have compiled a bibliography consisting of books and journal articles on Jewish and Christian views on the environment and environmental ethics.
